Reviews
'With designs dating from the 1930s to the 1980s, it is as much a picture of a changing Britain ... as a song of praise to Eckersley's ticklish wit and visual ingenuity', 'This illustrated biography highlights [Eckersley's] fundamental role in the transformation of 20th-century graphic design and offers a fascinating portrait of an evolving Britain' -- Daily Mail and MailOnline
